Abstract

We demonstrate a novel tunable infrared optical parametric amplifier (OPA) with the passively stabilized carrierenvelop-phase (CEP), in which a hollow fiber is used to improve the output beam quality and overcome the spatial chirp issue. Pumped by an 800nm pump source, the output pulses are tunable from 1.2μm to 2.4μm with CEP stabilization. And the maximum output average energy can reach ∼1.2W/40fs/1kHz with the total 6.8W/40fs/1kHz pump energy. Further, the high-order harmonics generation driven by the tunable phase-stabilized OPA has been demonstrated.
